2008-09 basketball year in review

Since we’re halfway through baseball season, I thought I’d better do our basketball review before it gets totally lost.  We’ll always remember this as the year of the ladies in the Ozarks as every state championship game features a team from SW Mo.  The Nixa Lady Eagles, Exeter Lady Tigers, and Sparta Lady Trojans each [...]

Class 4 & 5 boys district preview

CLASS 4

District 9 at Owensville

As far as the Ozarks fans are concerned, this is a dead man walkin’ situation.  Salem has struggled all year and I can’t see them even getting one win here.

Helias
Owensville
Eldon
Fulton
St. James
Salem

Prediction: Owensville takes it over Helias

District 10 at Marshfield

A number of Ozarks basketball players were included in the Missouri nominees for the McDonald’s All-American Basketball teams.  The next step is the first ballot which will be selected sometime early next month.  We’ll keep an eye out to see if any of our Ozarks athletes make the next step.  Congratulations to all our nominees

2008 Class 5 All-State Football Team

Despite a sub-par year by recent standards, the Ozarks still has good representation on the class 5 all-state team.  Lebanon cashes in on their breakout season by getting 3 first team offense selections.  Record setting QB Ryan Howerton, TE Phillip Archer, and Mizzou signee OL Justin Britt.  Waynesville also garners a trio of selections with BJ [...]

Sectional football picks

The sectional round features a few rematches that should be very interesting with Miller @ Thayer, Cassville @ Monett, West Plains @ Farmington, and Neosho @ Webb City.  Even Lee’s Summit West @ Ozark is a rematch from last year’s playoffs.  Miller/Thayer isn’t the only meeting of state ranked team as #10 Liberty travels to [...]
